This is a tale of how my day spun off into a wild goose chase. Cautionary tale. Don’t let this happen to you! In fact, don’t even read my post … isn’t there somewhere you are meant to be studying right now? Haha.

The path to getting distracted:

See a word I do not know

Try to look it up in zKorean – fail to find

Try to look it up in Naver dictionary – get directed to a page written primarily in Korean

Not know a word on this page so look up that word

Want to make a flashcard to remember new word

Search for an image

Grab an image, but click on the page the image comes from, because it might have related material

Find new material, decide to write it down in my blog/journal.

Start following other links for this newly discovered page

End up on a broader subject than initial inquiry

Start bookmarking pages and putting links into my blog post

Discover something I never knew about, or something I have been meaning to research

Wander very far off the path of the original inquiry

Finally get back to where I started hours later

This ever happen to you? Nah. My readers are sensible people. They wouldn’t lose themselves in learning new things from dark corners of the internet. Most of my blog posts are just documenting what I find on my paths of distraction. Sorry dear blog reader!
